Sources: Liverpool end Lovren talks with Roma

Liverpool have called off negotiations with Roma over the transfer of Dejan Lovren after growing frustrated at their attempts to unsettle the player and a failure to formalise the offer that was discussed, sources have told ESPN FC.

The Serie A club communicated that they were willing to put together a package that would see the defender earn £3.6 million a year, while the European champions were to receive a fee in excess of £15m.

Roma have been exploring the possibility of recruiting Daniele Rugani from Juventus, but are also understood to be looking at Lovren's international teammate Domagoj Vida and Manchester United's Marcos Rojo.
